Book Club Meeting Tomorrow
We read this. It was very sad, what with the starving, neglected kids, their drunk father and flake of a mother, but it was hard to put down.
I find it much harder to read this kind of book since I had the Boy. I won't even try to re-read "Angela's Ashes."

Angela's Ashes really had quite an impact on me as well - I just couldn't imagine it. It truly is a lot tougher to read about the sufferings of children when you have your own, huh? I did have an interest in this book, but I don't think I'll read it now. I prefer to be entertained... :o)
I laughed at Angela's Ashes!
That was long before the Boy, of course.
There was an unpleasant story in the news here last year about a 20 year-old hooker who got into a knife fight with another hooker, and I felt really sad for her that she obviously didn't grow up with caring parents.
